Patrice Plank a native of Massachusetts and who also lived in southwest US  for some time, has called Victoria, British Columbia, Canada  home for the past few years.

    In the past her primary media was traditionally oils and acrylics.  She has since fallen in love with clayboard scratch art and has been dedicated to this medium for the past seven years.  Patrice scratches her original art into the surface of the clayboard with very delicate tools and using a magnifier, reveals the design in exquisite detail in shades of black and white. She then paints her art with special watercolors or acrylics.

    Inspired by nature, Patrice tries to capture the beauty surrounding her.  Her favorite subjects include birds, butterflies, dragonflies, animals, marine life and flowers.

    Patrice is a member of the West Shore Arts Council.  Her scratch art has won numerous awards and her art is included in private collections throughout Canada, the U.S., Europe and New Zealand.
